So I tryed codein I had 120mg of pure codein pills with no APAP and other shit in it ... Anyway it was really a great experience for me lot of you have bad experience with codein like naussea or itchiness or that its weak and you dont have any euforia thnx god I had the best experience.First I had a feeling like you have on rollercoaster just before it goes downhill :D than I had this very good mood and I was very talkative which is weird I thought from opiates you are more quiet just enjoying yourself... than I had a warm feeling allover my body ofcourse I smoked some weed about 30mins after taking codeine and I think its pretty good to potentiate the more sedative effects of codein.I cant get anymore of this stuff and I have 180mg left I want to ask if it would be a good idea to take the 180mg in one dose today would it be stronger than yesterday the 120mg dose or is the tollerance from yesterday so big allready?
 
180mg will be fine. I wouldn't recommend going over 400mg, it's believed to be codeine's ceiling dose, and anything above 200mg may just make you unbearably nauseous. If nausea ever does become a problem, take an antihistamine like Piriton.

Moving to BDD.
 
I have a feeling that APAP actually potentiates codeine a bit, so I would always take some amount say 500mgs with the codeine. Too bad that the codeine offers only the buzz for 30mins and after that just glows like other opioids which is rather shitty imo.

Also I cant recommend starting the cycle of raising the dose right away. If you liked that first dose then stick to it. Opioids will usually make you crave for more anyway, dont speed up the process by increasing the dosage if its not really needed.

well I have only 6x 30mg pills so I think I will take them all at once I dont know if it will be today but if Il take 120mg aggain that is 4x30mg and Il have 2x 30mg tablets left which havent got any potential to me
albion: thanx for the warning but I didnt experience any naussea from 120mg dose but I have some loratadine home which is an antihistaminicum but when I take it just for alergies it makes me sleepy and drowsy I dont would I experience the sleepiness on codein too?

and I have no way of getting anymore codein so I dont think I will be addicted to it :)

Anyway i would rather rather use 2 times 90mgs if I had 180 mgs of codeine. The effects dont really get that much better by increasing the dose. But thats just my opinion.

APAP potentiates codeine?? Is that fact or opinion? Cos I've never heard that before.

Not a fact, just a feeling of mine. Any real explanation would have to relate to the the possible effect of APAP on codeine metabolization but I havent seen any information of that.

Then i dont think you should be relaying information based on a hunch, APAP is dangerous when taken in excess. I dont think it has any effect on how codeine is metabolised. Common codeine potentiators are grapefruit juice, and various 1st gen anti histamines like promethazine and diphenhydramine.
 
Of course APAP never should be taken in excess, im talking about small amounts with codeine. My hypothesis for this own experience of APAP potentiation is that the APAP might make some enzyme more "busy" therefore letting more codeine metabolize through the particural enzymes that convert it to morphine. This same idea is of course in grapefruit potentiation also but it is not impossible that APAP would affect the metabolism also cause its complex. Guess we would need an expert for this, which I am not.
 
No it's not impossible, but I'm pretty sure that if it did have any noticeable effect the evidence would be widely documented, and I've never seen anything suggesting that. Although that still doesnt mean its not true of course. Anyone got anything More to say about it? I'm intrigued now.
 
^it only potentiates the analgesic effects, bc is is adding two painkillers. I doubt there is any enzymatic changes by taking apap, it is not related to codeine pharmalogically.
 
Inspired by this topic I decided to get some codeine cause it's been a while. I have been playing reacratioanlly with bupe and pod tea lately. 1G APAP + 100mg codeine got me almost nodding but the earlier taken xanax 1mg might play a part too. I was suprprised that I am still able to get good effects from "ligthweight" opiates even though thath bupreniprhine, as someneone here claimed, destrtoys your tolerancance pretty much.

The nods are kind of neutral things to me, don't hate or love but still codeine has been the only stubstance that causes me to nod a bit even in low doses like 100mgs. And the nod i basically only effect i get from codeine. I denfinitely would love codeine if there was a way to extend the nodding-time because naturally it lasts ~1hr. Redosing on codeine too early is worthless as we all should know.
 
Maybe you should try to replace your enzymes. Codein works great, works ok, works a bit, or doesnt work at all depending on enzyme functions.

When i first did Codeine i didnt have any effects from it at all. I didnt understand why some people where popping those. Then I went to tramadol and so on, but as the time went suddenly the Codein started to work like magic to me. Have no idea why, but sometimes these things are just beyond understanding.
 
At a guess i'd say it was More likely because of my big morphine tolerance than anything else. It'd be nice to be able to enjoy something that's available otc tho.
 
Codeine can be surprisingly insidious, I used to go on 'codeine walks' which basically was walking down the high street which had 8 pharmacies within a few hundred meters, hence I could get 2g of codeine in 20 minutes for incredibly little money.
Trust me when I say easily available and cheap codeine is NOT a good thing, at all.
 
I agree and thank god that codeine isnt available OTC in my country (except in cough suryps which it cannot be extracted easily from).
 
You can get it in the UK off prescription but only 8-16mg and it's always mixed with 500mg Paracetamol.
 
you can buy codeine otc in uk, at 8/500 co-codamol or 12.5/200 nurofen plus. And some chemists still stock codeine linctus which has no other active ingredients and is 600mg per bottle. Prescription strengt codeine is usually 30 mg, sometimes with apap, but you can just get straight codeine pills too.
